they are a disgrace to your love-feasts, they indulge themselves at your festivals without reserve: clouds without water, transported with every wind: trees whose fruit soon withers and is useless, twice dead and rooted up:

these are they who distinguish themselves, though they are sensual, and have nothing that is spiritual.
